***Shudder*** Island. Pun Intended. Yeah, I went there.

Recently, as I left my local movie theater after witnessing the wonderful Shutter Island (!!!), it dawned on me that, although not in this case, I am often left feeling unfulfilled with book to movie adaptations. I mean, let’s be honest, vampires sparkling in the sun just don’t cut it on screen. However, Scorsese’s magnificent adaptation was beautiful to witness and a necessary part of your movie-going experience right now. Hint, hint, rush out and witness the awesomeness!
